Christina is feeling much better. We must keep an eye on her for a few weeks, but I am confident the princess is done with this round of sickness.

It was nice to snuggle with Christina, but I'd rather not have her in the hospital. Maybe Christina and I can have some extra snuggle time every few weeks. It was very peaceful resting with the princess when she was not in pain. I did not sleep well, but is was very peaceful in its own way.

Christina's diagnosis is serum sickness and drug eruption caused by the antibiotic she was taking for the respiratory sickness she caught the week before.

It was so hard on Christina. She was in so much pain and discomfort. Christina was quite the trooper and did her best in the hospital.

Christina's diagnosis is serum sickness and medication eruption. Both of them caused horrible rash like stuff all over her body.

Good news first. Christina's estimated discharge is Friday. The rash is almost completely gone. The swelling is down. The pain is managed. Christina's tone is ok.

Unfortunatly the amount of meds to keep her comfortable is still an extreme amount.

We have switched to almost all oral medications. Christina will be on a steroid for a few weeks at home. There is also the possibility of a recurrence for up to six weeks. It can be just as debilitating be we are hoping not.

Dr. Taniguchi stopped by; it was good to see a familiar face. I explained what Christina was going thru and he agreed that the Valium was a good choice to manage her spasticity.

Christina has the start of an ear infection, a cough, sinus woes, and the start of pneumonia. She is on a couple of antibiotics and we hope to have her back to well quickly. Christina is in great spirits even though she is sick.

We'll plan for mellow play the next few days. Maybe ice cream and cookies are in order.

UPDATEChristina now has a fever and the vomiting has started. This storm will get worse before better.
